The 2022 De Iuliis Shiraz is consistently one of the Hunter Valley's best-value reds, and the 2022 does not disappoint.
Founded by Joss and Anna De Iuliis in Lovedale, De Iuliis Wines flourished under the winemaking of their son Mike, who brings both modern energy and deep respect for Hunter traditions to each bottle. This Shiraz is crafted from low-yielding vines on the family’s original estate alongside select parcels from the Steven and Talga Road vineyards. The cooler 2022 season allowed for slow ripening, capturing purity and depth in the fruit.
In the glass, expect aromas of ripe blackberry, red plum, and a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, the palate delivers dark fruit and a subtle earthiness, finishing with a lively touch of spice.
Ready to drink now, this versatile Shiraz is perfect for casual BBQs or hearty meals, and a great introduction to Hunter Valley Shiraz.
